What am I missing here? The schools no longer will give placement tests. So, the school will not know those new students deficient in English and Math.
OK, so those students gain entry. Would they not, due to their insufficient English and Math knowledge, have a higher flunk out rate, or are the teachers going to dumb down the class exams so these unprepared students can simply glide through?
Unless they get the teachers to lower their standards, these students will be flunking out sooner than under the present system. That could be a good thing.
Maybe, but I'm not sure how that gets the 4-year graduation rate from 19% to 40% in 7-8 years.
Removing the standard to test for English almost certainly helps the illegals in the state.
